How we assess prop firms
Every firm receives a rating from 0 to 10, calculated identically each time from verifiable information: the firm's published pricing and rules, and its Trustpilot rating.
A single rating from four criteria
Every firm receives a rating from 0 to 10, calculated identically each time from verifiable information: the firm's published pricing and rules, and its Trustpilot rating.
Customer feedback (40%)
The Trustpilot rating is the most direct indication of whether a firm honours its commitments, and accordingly carries 40% of the rating. Where no rating exists, the remaining three criteria are used and this is stated in the review.
Price (20%)
We take the most affordable $100,000 challenge with a share of at least 80%, excluding pay-after-pass structures. $200 or less earns the maximum; $650 or more earns nothing.
Permitted strategies (20%)
Seven practices are reviewed: news trading, weekend holding, expert advisors, hedging, scalping, copy trading and martingale. Permitted earns one point, restricted half a point and prohibited none.
Factors with no bearing
Commercial arrangements. Certain links earn us commission, but the formula is applied identically to every firm.
Currency of information
Pricing and rules are reverified regularly, and the date of the most recent verification appears on each page. Should you notice an inaccuracy, please let us know via the contact form.
